our daily nestings: a fresh start

hopefully most of you have made your way over to our new blog. I am so bummed that we had to totally start over but with this next move from WV back to Utah I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a "fresh start" anyway. Let's play catchup;

we were lucky enough to make it this year to the johnson christmas dinner at hidden valley. chase loved the pretend deer.

aspen loved sitting on santa's lap & she was so stoked they gave her a barbie.

this little guy on the other hand didn't like santa's lap too much.

dave & I up at snowbird. it felt soooo good to go skiing again. dave did a lot back country. I'll post pics later couldn't find them at the moment.

we were so stoked to be able to take aspen this year! she did awesome & i think she loved it too.

this pic...... priceless. & yes those would be the skis my dad taught me on. ahhhh. :)

she really enjoyed the lift & spending time with dad!

she HAD to make a snow angel.

totally stoked & loving the fact she went skiing like her mom & dad.

& then she crashed 2 min into the ride down the canyon

we went to the zoo for some lights delight with my aunt parents & fam
